What makes a shutout? A shutout occurs when a goalie allows zero goals for the entire game (minimum 60 minutes). Shootout goals don't count against shutouts.

Shutout probability factors

- Opponent offense: Bottom-10 offenses get shut out more often - Goalie quality: Elite goalies have higher shutout rates - Team defense: Good defense limits high-danger chances - Game script: Blowout favorites play defensive hockey late
